    Brake Parts cleaner or some purple power. Let it soak for a while.

    While stuff it apart, clean up the throttle body aswell.

    And make sure to put RTV in the 4 corners of the LIM, sometimes people forget that small step.

    brake cleaner, and a scraper does well, razor blades to clean up the matting surfaces, then brake cleaner and a rag to wipe it down.

    clean any crap you can see out of the heads cooling ports too.

    He just strikes me as a guy that knows a little about cars and took the matter into his own hands.

    And he works fast lol.
